Ajinomoto - Hon Dashi (Soup Stock) 4.23 Oz.

Easy to use and reasonable price. Great for Japanese dish and soup base.

Same brand my grandma used to make saimen. No one in my family buys any brand of dashi but this one. Super easy to dissolve, dump in some miso (and tofu and bonito flakes and maybe some rice if you have some, top with green onions for sure), and you have the perfect broth.

It is a taste from my childhood.

Quite good flavor.

There's almost no end to the uses for these granules. From a substitute for Bonito flakes when making miso soup to a flavor packed sprinkle of umami on you're favorite food. As a cook who enjoys making Asian recipes, I consider this as important as salt and pepper, and always keep it just as handy. Hondashi contains monosodium glutamate (MSG). While some people are turned off by MSG, they would usually be very surprised to find that many foods they consume are naturally packed with it! Foods such as mushrooms, tomatoes, cheese and even nuts naturally contain MSG. While a very small group of folks ARE 'msg intolerant', the vast majority of those who refuse to consume it should look into the most recent research. It's not the food equivalent to the 'boogy man' as once thought to be the case. I should also mention that the shelf life of this is very long. You only need to store it in an air-tight container (such as a zip-lock bag) and in a dark cool area. I keep mine in the refrigerator, sealed in a half pint Ball jar.

FIRST AND FOREMOST: I've cooked a pound of dry, shaved bonito flakes into broth. It's a delicious — and necessary — part of any Japanese soup or sauce. It's also very time consuming. THAT SAID: These instant, dissolvable, manageable granules add all that umami ocean-y goodness instantly and easily. I USUALLY USE IT IN SOUP: Could be a complex, homemade situation. Or just to add depth to miso soup packs at lunchtime. But I've also used it to add complexity and a little Japanese nuance to stir fry, braising sauce, panko coating, mashed potatoes and other vegetable dishes, and even as a glaze for grilled meat. MAYBE DON'T SERVE IT TO YOUR SOBO-CHAN: But I'm pretty convinced you and your friends will love it.

This product has been perfect over the many years I’ve purchased it.

Real hondashi

Ame el sabor y las presentaciones me sirve mucho para preparar katsudon.

A great tasting stock to use when making miso soup and very convenient

This is literally the only dashie anyone should ever use. Tastes great and is priced Right. This year is I can't find it locally anymore so I have to buy on Amazon but I will willingly buy and support daddy Bazo's

Aprendí hacer miso soup y si no tiene este producto, no está al 100 %. Es el ingrediente que le da el sabor exquisito.

The packaging was a little bent and wrinkled but it didn’t affect the product. Good stuff
